2005 Nissan Altima Review

2005 is a terrible year for the Nissan Altima and is one of the years where a lot of transmission problems started showing up. Making it a midsize sedan buyers should avoid due to the high ownership costs.

2008 Toyota RAV4 Review

The 2008 Toyota RAV4 is one of the longest lasting compact SUVs from 2008. The optional V6 engine gives it more power than the rivals, and legendary Toyota reliability helps keep the values high.

2007 Toyota Tundra Review

The 2007 Toyota Tundra is one of the best half-ton trucks on the market with an extremely long lasting engine. I recommend it over a lot of the other trucks on the market since ownership costs are much lower.

2006 Chevy Tahoe Review

The 2006 model year for the Tahoe stands out as one of the best for the popular full size SUV. With long lasting engines and low ownership costs it's an easy one to recommend to shoppers.

2005 Honda Accord Review

The 2005 Honda Accord is a year buyers should avoid with more transmission issues than a lot of the newer models. If you're in the market for a sedan from 2005 I recommend getting a Camry which will last longer.

2007 Honda Civic Review

A deep-dive into the 2007 Honda Civic, which breaks the mold for what buyers expect from a Honda. A lot of engine problems were found in my deep-dive, leading this to be a car buyers should avoid.
